Manage On-Site Notification History

The QCLF Notifications page shows due on-site notification rows for the signed-in member and lets that member mark, delete, or clear their own on-site history.

On-site history state is separate from email delivery state, so cleaning the on-site list does not rewind or resend email.

Work with the Notification List

  1. Open Notifications.
  2. Select Open to visit the event target.
  3. Use Mark Read on one unread row or Mark All Read for all current pending unread rows.
  4. Use Delete for one entry, or Clear Notifications to remove all pending/read entries from your visible on-site history.

What Appears in the Center

The notification center includes rows whose on-site state is pending or read and whose scheduled time is due. It orders newest first and paginates 20 at a time.

The Browse tab’s Notifications badge counts only due pending rows that are still unread.

Mark Read vs Delete

Mark Read sets read_at and changes on-site state from pending to read. Mark All Read performs the same transition for all of your current unread pending rows.

Delete and Clear Notifications do not physically erase the notification record; they mark the on-site state deleted and stamp read_at, so the rows stop appearing in the center.

Email Is Separate

These history actions change on-site state only. They do not change the notification’s email state or email-delivery records. Clearing a notification therefore does not cause an old email to resend, and it also does not cancel an otherwise still-eligible pending email.

Access Is Revalidated

Before counting/displaying on-site notifications, QCLF revalidates global On-site preference, active subscription/moderator relationships, and Topic access where relevant. Stale entries can be suppressed when the user no longer has the required relationship or access.
